See, if it was the S.....ng, they would already rant all about the newest tech on their phone, make a dozen of commercials about the tinyiest details they bring about....
Sony... implements WiFi MIMO in z3+ and keeps absoultely quiet as if it was a given...

For you maybe are graphics and power, no ... moreA smartphone is just like a pocket computer. Not just graphics power, you can play, browse, take good quality pictures, email, you name it. The only thing your w995 can do is audio. And, for those who really need a w995 speaker, you can get a BT portable speaker from Beats or any other well known audio company which can produce audio better than your w995. You see your w995 isn't a smartphone.

For you maybe are graphics and power, no ... moreHmmm, guess you should consider a BT stereo set of a sort then, not so an expensive smartphone accessory...
No Extra walkmann type smartphones oriented on speaker sound and music out there, doubt there will be
That is why BT speakers were invented

AnonD-392582, 28 May 2015Agreed. W995 may have better speakers. But, no one plans to use their phones as a home theatre... moreBut to someone who loves music, this is important.
For you maybe are graphics and power, no complain here. But a loud phone always attract more attention than one that's not, tested :P

DenisXD, 28 May 2015As a matter of fact I did. M9 has a tendency to make the music very crisp, which ruins the bas... moreAgreed. W995 may have better speakers. But, no one plans to use their phones as a home theatre system or as a music box, hence, w995 speakers are unnecessary. Today's smart phones have worser speakers, but better everything else. They are very useful in our day to day life. Speakers are one thing which aren't very important for phones - even Samsung's speakers would get the job done.

DenisXD, 27 May 2015Oh god.. what the hell is sony thinking?
This is Z3 again, and thinner? Wtf?!
More thin = ... moreSony just being sensible, i think. Sony are developing a new flagship design but they didnt want to combine their new design with a dud processor (810) so they have refreshed the Z3 and are holding back releasing their new flagship design with the Snapdragon 820 on board to probably either later this year or more likely in Jan 2016. I think by calling it a Z3+ Sony are simply acknowledging that this isnt a magor upgrade but a phone designed to compete with the M9 for market share. Heck Apple have been getting away withthe same trick for years. Sony needed to reatin visibility in the market place.

AnonD-392582, 28 May 2015Have you compared your w995 speakers to the m9 boom sound speakers? First, try a real life com... moreI would approve his statement. Since the new smart phones are so integrated, their sound systems are less powerful than the big classic phones like W995.

Come on Sony! Instead of releasing the same phone as last year just for the sake of releasing, improve your software. Give us new Android updates faster. Sort out the small lags here and there. Your hardware is capable of running Android smoothly. The south koreans even the chinese has past you guys.

i SINCERELY THINK Z3+ IS THE BEST LOOKING FLAGSHIP AND THE MOST PRACTICAL ONE TOO.s6 looks like iphone 's daughter.g4 looks hideous -seriously the back of g4 with that elevated central ridge looks really hideous.must say-z3+looks awesome. the sides look very good.besides a fullhd display on 2930mah looks more perfect than a GIMICKY AND NO-USE 2K ON A 2500MAH.and the world is so GIMMICK driven nowadays-otherwise how would samsung and lg get the courage to put a absolutely useless 2k screen on a 5incher phone...????SONY really deserves kudos for doing what it believes is right rather than bleating -2k?mehh too.

I wonder if Tmobile USA will get this handset. I wanted to test out the Z3 in the store. The display unit would not turn on because the lock was on the power button. The only way I would buy a Sony phone is if I really get back into gaming and purchase a PS4. Then I could see the use for this phone. I may just end up buying a Sony tablet if I do get into gaming again.

thwinoo, 27 May 2015I won't be asking if z3+ is in stores. Even in official global site, it is just mentioned &quo... moreDo you keep dropping phones? Because m9 isn't any stronger than z3+ or s6. Why are you worried about the rear panel of the phone? The Xperia Z3 and the s6 survived in drop tests without a crack. All phones will crack if you keep dropping phones. So, get a z3+ and a good case and don't be careless.
